FIP VKD Dual Block® 2 Way Ball Valve (Thread) - 1/2" / 15mm

FIP VKD Dual Block® 2 Way Ball Valve (Female BSP Thread) - 1/2" / 15mm

The FIP VKD DUAL BLOCK® 2-way ball valve is a high-quality Thermoplastic true union ball valve, known for its robust design and innovative patented features like Dual Block® systems and the SEAT stop system. It is designed for demanding industrial applications involving water and various chemical fluids. The 2-way Valve is made of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC). 

DUAL BLOCK® is the new patented system developed by FIP that gives the possibility to lock the union nuts of true union ball valves in a preset position. The locking device then ensures the nuts are held in position even under severe service conditions: i.e. vibration or thermal expansion.

The FIP VKD DUAL BLOCK® 2-way ball valve is rated for a maximum of 16bar / 232psi.
